Rheumatic fever is the most common cause of mitral stenosis worldwide. Embolic events represent severe complications of mitral stenosis. We describe the case of a 45-year-old women who had an ischemic stroke as the initial manifestation of previously unrecognized mitral stenosis in the absence of atrial fibrillation.

Aims: This study compared echocardiography (echo) and cardiac computed tomography (CT) in measuring the Wilkins score and evaluated the potential added benefit of CT in predicting immediate percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV) outcomes in rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) patients deemed eligible for PMV by echo.
Methods And Results: From a multicentre registry of 3,140 patients with at least moderate MS, we included 96 patients (age 56.4±11.

We present a case of a 72-year-old female patient with dyspnea and lipothymia. Echocardiography demonstrates an intracavitary cystic mass that fills almost all left atria causing supravalvular obstruction. The magnetic resonance image revealed a 53 × 47 × 48 mm heterogeneous mass with regular edges, tissue characterization suggested myxoma.

We report a 75-year-old female with a history of two heart operations: aortic valve replacement (St. Jude Medical 21 mm) at the age of 44 years for severe rheumatic aortic stenosis and mitral valve replacement (Carbomedics 29 mm) at the age of 51 years for rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Decades later, she presented with exertional dyspnea.

Background: Contemporary surgical approaches for aortic valve replacement (AVR) include full median sternotomy, hemi-sternotomy, and a right anterior mini thoracotomy (RAMT) approach. We report the midterm outcomes of RAMT for isolated AVR.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted, reporting the midterm outcomes of patients who underwent isolated RAMT AVR.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, an exceedingly rare and aggressive primary cardiac tumor arising from mesenchymal stem cells, is associated with poor prognosis and high mortality despite adequate treatment. A 52-year-old female presented with a 2-month history of angina and dyspnea on exertion. Her clinical history included severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 myocarditis and iron deficiency anemia.
